Hi
Prob can’t do it but wanted to check I was not missing something.
I want rolling budgets - but only for one or two categories. For example my insurance budget needs to be yearly has some insurances are paid yearly.
But my food is just monthly and I don’t want any extra to roll over.
Is it a all or nothing type thing?
Cheers
Hey @Bigben 
Welcome to the Emma Community!
At the moment it’s an all-or-nothing thing - but we do like the idea of setting individual rolling budgets.
I’ll let you know if this is something we decide to start working on 
Yes great, or an annual budget just for one or two categories would be OK too
Cheers
every month
I have used Mvelopes in the past. It has a “sweep” feature which allows you to rollover unused money to other categories for the next month.
I liked being able to allocate my monthly budgeted amounts to cyber “envelopes” and move money around between envelopes when needed. I also liked how easy it was to allocate 1/12 of any yearly expense (like insurance) to a budget category each month so I wouldn’t spend it on something else. I’m hoping to use the rollover feature in Emma (as it further develops) to help me with those tasks.
I realize that Emma is not an “envelope” budget system. The reason I switched is b/c Mvelopes does not support all of my bank accounts. Emma pulls in EVERYTHING!
Hi,
I just wanted to add that I would also find out extremely useful to either a) be able to set rolling budgets per category instead of on or off for all categories or b) be able to set an annual budget.
I think one or the other would probably satisfy most users, in practice they seem like a slightly different view on the same thing to me.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I wanted to let everyone know that overspending is coming soon and will be included in the rolling budgets! I think it’ll be out in 2 weeks max.
What would be good is to be able to pick which categories can roll over
I know but it might skew the total budget and everything else?
Hey guys,
rolling budgets now count the overspending.
Hi, I may not be using rollovers correctly, but the ability to move money from one budget to another on an ad-hoc basis (i.e. “for this month only”) would be really helpful and complement the roll-over budgets feature.
For example, if I’ve overspent on groceries this month, but saved on my coffee spend, then I would be able to transfer the “spare” £10 from coffee towards my groceries budget just for that month, rather than having it roll into next month’s coffee budget.
I know I can currently edit the budget categories each month, but that resets the rollovers. Instead, I’d like to pay back the “debt” of the rollover using money that is spare in another category.
Thanks!
